Michelle Obama’s Top 6 Health Tips

What’s not to love about First Lady Michelle Obama? She’s a well-educated professional, she’s a devoted mother, she’s the greatest supporter and defender of her husband, President Barack Obama, and she strives every day to be healthy and happy woman.

What are some of the top everyday things she does to help maintain a healthy life?

1. Michelle works out.

She wakes up around 4:30 every day to work out before her children wake up, doing combinations of cardio and strength moves. If she’s on the road, she tries to bring a jump rope with her, or do a pre-planned 30-minute workout involving jumping jacks and situps.

She also varies her workouts, and includes moves to maintain her flexibility, such as Pilates and yoga.

2. Michelle takes great care of her skin.

Her skin care routine is pretty basic: face cleanser and a moisturizer with SPF. She also treats herself to the occasional facial.
